ah, the classic final-trailer-that-seems-like-it-shows-off-too-much-of-the-movie-and-I-actually-wish-I-hadn't-watched-it

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

Average Trump scandal: many people dead after uncontroversial government program illegally cut by doge for nonexistent savings Average mamdani scandal: he’s playing BASKETBALL with his FRIENDS

motherfucker have you heard of algebra

"The antivax guy with the brain worms who once staged a dead bear cub underneath a bicycle in Central Park and who also is the US secretary of health espouses a theory about the inferiority of Arabs" is a completely accurate summary of a news item today

THE DEVILS (1971), dir. Ken Russell

The only remotely reasonable way this task could feel impossible is if you as a parent were like "how could I limit it to just 3?" And hey, maybe that's what Mayer said, and the reporter conveyed the sentiment by paraphrasing it in the last line of graf 2. But then: These AI answers are so generic!

woke up to an email from the IRS with subject line "Claim your child's Trump Account today!" which honestly just made me think that Democrats need to be way less bashful about putting their name on public-facing stuff

that's my secret, Radioactive Man: I'm all four at once

THE DEVILS (1971), dir. Ken Russell

This is why so many on the left are disillusioned with the press. We have watched a blatant double-standard unfold in real time over the last decade with a lasting effects on all of our lives without any attempt at an explanation from the perpetrators who get overly defensive when facing criticism.

As I figured, Acton was telling the truth the whole time, and Vivek Ramaswamy remains the worst person. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

as with Trump, when it comes to James Dolan, there is no bottom

I mean I *guess* they could've started Master and Commander with that line, but I don't think it would've hit quite as hard

"They brought in a contractor. I'm sorry, not a — not a CONtractor, a conTRACTor." I don't make a habit out of liking YouTube videos — in fact, I often watch in an incognito window to avoid feeding the algorithm — but I was thrilled to click this link and see that I had previously liked this one.

- I got into Pink Floyd later, but I think "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" was the first song where I was like "oh so this is what people mean by getting high & entering a trance" - perfect placement: on the LP, it concludes side 1; on the CD, you exit the trance & go right into "Here Comes the Sun"

"I remember some people feeling like, that’s some cheesy ass shit, but I was like, I don’t care. That’s how I want to end it. And I think Mahershala delivers it beautifully." saw it on Monday... what a fuckin movie, and the line in question hits like a sledgehammer

how many years before EA is more of a holding company for IP rights than a publisher and developer of video games — 5? 10?

on LeBron James -- and so many other sports icons -- appearing in a Polymarket ad www.cnn.com/2026/10/18/s...

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

honestly it should be illegal for Criterion to have a flash sale when I've been unemployed this long

SLOOOOOOOOOWWWWW HOOOOOORRRRRRSESSSS

"and even" capital-A Actors slumming it up in ViDEo GaMeS?! imagine that!

I am so tired of our president being a big racist dipshit

wtaf??? fire everyone who was associated with all of the decisions that led to him playing in the game

everyone knows this but it still has to be said: a president who makes "improving a local good course" a public priority does not care about being a president. the country is his house and he's redecorating with your money.

ultimately it's shit like this that makes the decline of birth rates and resulting demographic skewing towards old people self-reinforcing. Greedy, wealthy retired people voting to destroy the funding for public services they relied on throughout their life now that they no longer need them

Jan is CBS’s legal correspondent. She gave the puff piece interview to Alito on his book. She’s criticized people who criticize the Court too much / in certain ways. She’s a perfect case study in why some mainstream/legacy media press coverage of SCOTUS is broken, bad, and misleading.

"raising" "fears"? c'mon, y'all

Hamilton in Federalist No. 68, making the case for choosing a president via the electoral college: "It will not be too strong to say, that there will be a constant probability of seeing the station filled by characters pre-eminent for ability and virtue."

Street Fighter: I'm not mad that I saw it, but I mostly agree with Siddhant's review — once the tournament gets going, things get messy. My main question (non-plot division): Did they actually get Chris Berman to do the VO for the ESPN segment at the start, or was that a (very good) sound-alike?

Amazing stuff to come from the mouth of an owner 2.5 weeks before the last MLB game before an owner-driven lockout.

Great stuff from Matt! Pretty reassuring, although as he notes, nothing is certain. "Under new ownership and control, there are plenty of unknowns about how EA will want to develop future games. "But will those problems force [EA Sports College Football] to unplug? Not in the next few years."

Still MLB's last three-peat.

obviously I hope that everything is okay with Matt Reeves and his loved ones, and it's really cool of Soderbergh to do this having said that: my brain is so broken that I saw this image and immediately thought "it's giving distracted boyfriend meme"

It's not "strikingly juvenile" and it's not a "personal broadside." It's hate speech. The Vice President is trying to get people to vote against a Democrat by implying that he's gay and/or a pedophile and/or a fetishist. Take it seriously. It is on a par with every other kind of hate speech.

I do feel like "attacking the hated billionaire owners of the local sports team" could be a pretty good way of connecting to voters across the country, especially since 95% of them are Republican donors

Took the opportunity to check out 9 to 5 on the big screen today (with Disney donating net proceeds to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library!). It's a good thing I was alone in the theater, because I was basically hooting and hollering throughout... what a movie!

boy Trump fucked the American auto industry. first he yanks their EV subsidies, leading them to slash production and write off tens of billions in investment, then he jacks up the price of oil by 50%, leading to skyrocketing EV demand going almost entirely to China bc GM et al left the market

look, I am a firm believer, and always have been, in release order (as opposed to in-fiction chronological order) as the True And Correct Way to experience the Chronicles of Narnia... but this is a pretty sick trailer

now I'm thinking of the phrase "The Maltese Breakfast Sandwich," which sounds like something out of a rejected SNL sketch from 1997
